UP TO THE POLICE?
Complaint is made about a large cigar concern running a wagon around our village and stopping frequently and putting oat a sign "open for basi¬ ness," and selling cigars, etc., on the street. It certainly is up to the police or the Village Board to stop this, pro¬ viding the merchants will make com¬ plaint which would justify the officials in acting.

The South Shore Yacht Club will celebrate the Fourth with something novel in the way of motor boat races and this will be followed in the even¬ ing by H reception and dance to the members and their friends.
Twenty-nine boats are entered in the Club match races for the Fourth of July championship.
Eleven boats are entered in the dis¬ placement racing boat race, and there will be two boats in the hydroplane race.
The arrangement for the Club match races is an innovation whereby the best time over the Club course of each boat entered is used as the basis for classi¬ fying and handicapping. The match races ai<' arranged between fi^m four to six boats whose speeds are approx¬ imately the same. The first match race will start at 1:S0 p. m. when five boats will leave at the crack of the gun. Ihis will be followed at 1:40 with another match race of six boats and so on at intervals of ten minates until the six matches have been start¬ ed. The winners of each nsatch will

A reaolution was paased accepting the report with the further recom¬ mendation that the Fletcher property of 100 feet on Grove Street be pur¬ chased, and the meeting adjourned with the understanding that the com¬ mittee would consult with the Board of Education and arrange for the call¬ ing of a special school meeting at an early date to vote upon the propoai¬ tions submitted.
We present herewith the majority report and the minority exception, as read at the lAeeting.
Report of the Citizens' Committee in the matter of school accommoda¬ tions, etc., to the taxpayers of Free- port.
Your Committee has given consider¬ able time and study to the matter of increased school accommodations and has reached certain definite conclu¬ sions which they submit in the follow¬ ing report:
The decisive action twice taken against changing the site of the pres¬ ent High School was so completely in harmony with the peraonal inclinations of moat if not all the members of the Cpmmittee as not to hamper them in any degree.
The Committee desires to express its appreciation of the courtesy of Mr. Ward C. Moon, who has cheerfully responded to any queationa which have

The South Shore Yacht Club will celebrate the Fourth with something novel in the way of motor boat races and this will be followed in the even¬ ing by H reception and dance to the members and their friends.
Twenty-nine boats are entered in the Club match races for the Fourth of July championship.
Eleven boats are entered in the dis¬ placement racing boat race, and there will be two boats in the hydroplane race.
The arrangement for the Club match races is an innovation whereby the best time over the Club course of each boat entered is used as the basis for classi¬ fying and handicapping. The match races ai»Onoed on pag« 8)
